can choose from 16 response curves.

You can come up with some effective Layered sounds by combining SF (Soft) and Hd (Hard) Velocity
Curves.
Ex. 1: In a layered patch, when you combine SF1 and Hd1, or SF2 and Hd2, as the Velocity Curve
settings for pad bank A and pad bank B, respectively, striking the pad lightly sounds the
Instrument of pad bank A, and the harder you hit, the louder you can make the sound of the
pad bank B Instrument become (Velocity Crossfade).
Ex. 2: In a layered patch, when you combine SF3 and Hd3, or SF4 and Hd4, as the Velocity Curve
settings for pad bank A and pad bank B, respectively, you can switch the pad bank A and pad
bank B Instruments with the strength with which you strike the pads (Velocity Switch).
